I am on ios 18.5 (iphone 12 pro) and I did both of the screentime agents options, but with no avail. The apps I used show 52 minutes on screen time even though I just used them for a very short time.

screentime agent only removes the app limits not downtime (if you already have it enabled)

#

but

#

theres a method that ive done which isnt practical but ive removed all restrictions
reset your phone and do the tweak before you sign back into icloud

#

note that you can ignore the reseting phone steps if you dont have downtime

#

if you only have app limits use the tweak when all of your phone is unlocked

#

if you want to get rid of downtime and you will do absolutely anything to get rid of it;
make an encrypted backup
factory reset your phone (preferably itunes or apple devices)
now setup your phone as usual up until icloud
DO NOT SIGN INTO ICLOUD
continue setup without signing into icloud.
once you are on the home screen now do the tweaks
now when you sign in back into icloud you should not have any restrictions on your phone

not much i can do with that but if you have strict parents or sum update to the beta and disable UsageTracking daemeon and say its a bug with the new beta they will fix it later when its fully released

all up to you

the backup is going to be on your computer device so you dont have to signin to icloud (unless you made a backup with icloud then you have to signin to icloud to restore the backup)

#

only restore the backup when something went wrong
